Chris Espinoza
HELLO EVERYONE! Welcome to the world of Hi-Lites AVEDA. I would like to thank your for taking this time to get to know myself and our team. The original Hi-Lites was established in 1989, and I have been with the company since 1999. Now co-owner, I was personally trained by the founder, Darla Di-Grandi. Darla not only was a mentor in the beauty industry, she also enjoyed helping me grow as a husband, father, and to become personally grounded. In the past, I have been an educator for a well known professional hair product company that involved stage work in large scale runway hair shows. My expertise in these areas will definitely play an important role in creating the color and image that is especially for you. Now that you have seen a glimpse of that whom which we are, please call now so that our team can get to know you.
